Payton's pov

I park my car behind Damon's blue car and grab my books and coat from the passenger seat, getting out my car. The cheerful blue sky was now sunless and covered with musky, dim grey clouds. I walk through the massive brown doors of the boarding house and into the living room finding it empty.

I place my coat in its rack next to the door and place my books and bag on the sofa. "Damon? You here?" I call out and try to listen to any noise my human ears could pick up. The rain was slowly drizzling on the window and then I heard the shuffling of feet. "Auntie Pay!" I turn my head towards the stairs and see Lizzie run down them with Josie slowly following her. Lizzie runs towards my legs and wraps her arms around both of them. I chuckle and run my hand through her blonde hair.

"Hi Lizzie and Josie I completely forgot that your mom dropped the both of you here today morning. How was your day? Did you enjoy playing with Damon?" I ask her as Josie grabs my hand and holds it. "Yes we did. We played dress up with our dolls and built a blanket fort." Lizzie says as she removes herself from my legs. "We also had pizza for lunch and then ate the cookies." Josie says.

"Oh wow. So you ate all the cookies I had made yesterday?" I ask them but Lizzie chuckles covering her mouth with her hands and Josie shakes her head and says "No of course not, we left two cookies for you, but Damon said we could eat it." I chuckle and go to answer when I am interrupted by a deep voice.

"Hey now! You can't sell me out like that munchkins. You promised." I look up to see Damon leaning against the wall. Lizzie turns towards him and says "I didn't break the promise Josie did she's the one who told auntie Pay."

"But- but..." I hear Josie stutter and watch as Damon walks to her and kneels down in front of her "It's ok Josie. I am not mad ok? I was only making a joke." Lizzie who was watching Damon talk to Josie goes and stands near the door that leads into the back yard watching the rain. She then turns towards us and says "It's raining. Can we play in the rain? Pleaseeeee." I chuckle and shake my head as she pouts making me say "Lizzie your mom would have our heads if you went out in the rain and then got sick later on."

"But we'll only play for a little while. Pleaseeee auntie Pay." she asks and I hear Damon chuckle and say "Alright but only for a little while, you have to come in soon so you both don't get sick ok?" I see Lizzie nod her head and then she runs towards us and grabs Josie's hand, leads her back to the door waiting for one of us to open the door. 

Damon walks over to them and opens the door watching the two of them run into the rain, giggling and squealing as the rain starts getting them wet. He walks back to me and wraps his arms around my waist and places a small, brief kiss on my forehead and that was all I needed to make me less tired. I smile at him and say "Well...well Damon Salvatore the big, bad vampire is loved by toddlers." He chuckles at my words.

The same words he used to save the others from Pastor Young a long time ago. "How was class?" He asks me and turns around to keep an eye on the girls from inside the house all while he has me close to him. His hand on my waist and he pulls me into my side kissing my hair again.

"Tiring. My psychology professor is sitting on our heads. It's as if she thinks that the more times she reminds us of the deadline of the projects the faster they'll be on her desk. Like she says it every time our class starts and ends." He chuckles and my chests fills with warmth hearing his deep laugh. "So how was your day with the girls?"

"They were fine. They slept after lunch so I had time for myself for a while. They're really good kids. It reminds me of the times Stef and I used to play back in the days." I look up at him and see him reminiscing about his past. I rise on my toes and kiss his cheek "It's all about enjoying your past memories and making new ones." He looks at me and kisses me again. 

Just a quick brush of his lips against mine as I continue "And I'll be by your side making these memories with you." He smiles his bright smile that I only get to see sometimes and he kisses me again. This time harder like he doesn't want me to pull away.

Damons pov

I am in the kitchen making some sandwiches and warming milk for the girls to drink while Payton is outside drying and dressing the girls. I walk out with the plates and mugs balanced in my hands and stop at a sight that warms my cold, dead heart.

Lizzie is sitting in front of the fireplace wrapped in a thick white towel as Payton sits on the nearest sofa with Josie in dry clothes. Josie is standing between her legs and Payton dries her hair with another thick white towel. 

"Auntie pay I wanna show you something." Josie says placing her small hands on her legs silently telling her to stop. And as soon as the towel is remove from Josie's semi dry hair, she shakes her head from side to side drying her hair like a dog. Tiny water droplets move out of Josie's hair falling on Payton as she laughs loudly.

Her laughs makes me smile, warming me up from inside, making my heart want to beat out of my chest and land at her feet cause it's hers. And then I see Lizzie get up and walk up to them "Auntie Pay I'm cold." As soon as Payton hears this she gets off the couch, gently grabs Josie's hand and makes her sit in front of the fireplace to warm her up and when she sees that Josie is comfortable she walks back to Lizzie getting down on her knees she pulls Lizzie into a tight hug.

I see Lizzie relax in her arms and says "You give warm hugs auntie Pay." Her hugs are warm, like a warm blanket. That when she hugs me her arms are like warm blankets that wrap themselves around my cold heart warming it while at the same time pouring out all the affection into me.

I place the plates and mugs on the table and see Payton pull back from the hug at the sound and goes to dry Lizzie's hair. I grab one mugs of lukewarm milk and a plate of sandwich and kneel down next to Josie and hand it to her.

I feel Payton's eyes on me the whole time and when I look at her I find her smiling at me. She then takes Lizzie into another room to change her. I sit on the couch and take out my phone scrolling through messages when Lizzie runs into the room taking her plate and mug and proceeds to sit down next to her sister and eat. 

Payton walks into the room next and places the two towels in the laundry bag then sitting down next to me. My arm automatically goes around her shoulder and pulls her close to me. Her head rests on my chest listening to my steady heart beat.

"They adore you, you know?" I tell her and feel her smile as she replies "Not as much as they adore their Princess Snow White." She laughs softly at the joke, reminding me about the time the girls got me a makeover and I chuckle as well before kissing her head.

And that's how we spend our evening. Us on the couch as the girls played around till Caroline walked in two hours only to shout at us for getting her kids wet and letting them go out into the rain.
